@@Advanced Flight
Not everything comes from a factory, you consumer whore!
 
@@Alphabet
After losing the 2000 Presidential election, Al Gore went back to what he did best- inventing the Internet.  Since the Internet was already invented, and reinventing it would be dumbest thing since reinventing the wheel, Gore developed a better version, which became known as the Internet2.  Subsequently, he would go on to invent additonal faster versions, including the Internet3 and the InternetPi.  Anime fans and other lonely people worldwide rejoiced.  

@@Astronomy
NIMBYs, an acronym for Not In My Back Yard, are every developer's second-worst nightmare, right up there after endangered swamp critters.  While some NIMBYs save neighborhoods and cute bunnies from freeways, others abuse the system to freeze all development.  

Architectural design (read: gingerbread facades) and community meetings can go a long way in convincing fence-sitters, but for dealing with hardcore NIMBYs...it's time to bring back a little of Old California.  

An extreme form of NIMBY is BANANA - Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything.

@@Atomic Theory
nil

@@Automobile
The current fundamental particle of the universe, Superstrings are, well, strings with a lot of extra dimensions.  For scientists, Superstring Theory promises a deeper understanding of the universe.  

For science fiction writers, Superstring Theory promises lots of cool explosions.  

@@Banking
Often with a fantasy theme, Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games such as EverCrack help technically adept but socially inept people cope with life.  With players being able to choose characters of other genders and species, MMORPGs have come under sustained attack by the Religious Right, who claim it is a gateway drug for homosexuality, bestiality, and Satanism.

@@Bridge Building
Engineers are essential to the functioning of any industrialized society.  Traditionally, engineers dealt mostly with the hard sciences of physics and chemistry, however, the field has since spread to include new branches such as:

Bioengineering - design of machines that interface with living organisms

Environmental engineering - cleaning up the mess of other engineers

Value engineering - screwing up the work of other engineers by making it cheap in all senses of the word.

@@Bronze Working
Stem cells are versatile cells that can be grown into other types of cells.  They have great medical value, but also stir up issues of moral values.  This is partly caused by poor if not outright incorrect biology educations that lead citizens to think that stem cell therapy involves eating babies.  

In reaction to faith-based federal funding bans for research, Californians passed Proposition 71 in 2004 to fund it themselves.  Hopefully this will offer the Western Hemisphere a chance to catch up to the more level-headed Europeans and Asians.  

@@Ceremonial Burial
At some point in the late 20th century, some angry man got the brilliant idea that other likeminded angry stupid white men would enjoy listening to them rant for hours on end.  On your typical city street, such a person would be known as a bum, lunatic, or nutcase.  On the air, they are known as Talk Radio Hosts.  

While listening to Talk Radio does anything but make one content, it does work well to shift blame to the vast bleeding heart liberal conspiracy. 

@@Chemistry
No Swimming signs' hundred year reign over the waterways finally came down when the civil union of environmentalism and nanoengineering produced cheap means of cleaning the environment.  

The breakthrough came as a serendipitous result of scientists working to alleviate the Second Oil Crunch.  Hoping to synthezize oil from human blood, researcher Esther Chloride instead created a microorganism that converted industrial sludge into cafeteria food, which could then be safely removed from the water supply by hungry undergrads.

@@Chivalry
It wasn't until the Internets that people finally realized what they were missing out in shithole suburbia.  What began with flame wars over science fiction computer games moved to political trolling, mulitplayer gaming, and finally trips to bars in certain metropolitan areas.  

Where suburban life was filled with the troubles of fitting in, urban life was simply a matter of choosing the right fit.  Feeling for a change?  A different world is just a couple bus stops away.  

@@Code of Laws
After decades of growth and acquisiton, EA Games had grown into the Microsoft of games, with all the good and more of the bad connotations.  While late 20th century growth had been spectacular as the company's revenue eclipsed movie studios, the real break came with the release of the first Massively Multiplayer Online Sports Game.  

While geeks had enjoyed inventing new lives online for decades, EA Playa 2010 introduced the online alter ego to the much larger sports fan market.  Ironically, excessive gaming decreased wannabe pro players' physical strength and skills, but with graphics and sound getting better, more and more people would discover the sublime thrill of running in a touchdown with a controller in one hand and a forty in the other.  

@@Combustion
The wildest dreams of fashionistas, schiznophrenics, and the pathologically self conscious were realized in a San Francisco biology lab by the scientist Polly Siffan, also known as Dr. Point, Pylkka, and no less than twenty five other identities in her/his/its recent career.  

Using reprogrammed stem cells, new body parts could be lab-grown and subsequently grafted onto the user.  Closets sprouted cryogenic freezers as consumers purchased extra noses and ears to go with different outfits.  Medical benefits were also earthshattering.  

@@Communism
Beginning with college student antics involving Pac-Man costumes turned senior projects, Real World Gaming brought hordes of gamers out of the couch and onto the streets.  

Initially an underground phenomenon, Real World Gaming made headlines following a string of incidents where unsuspecting bystanders were mistaken for NPCs and repeatedly attacked by a constant stream of level-farming noobs.  As the games moved beyond adventure roleplays, Real World Gaming grew more and more mainstream until one could find old folks playing chess in the park with people in different time zones. 

@@Computers
While the G-1000 had been a ruthless killing machine, brutally terminating thousands of government workers, the same intricate technology that gave the G-1000 its superhuman and super-ordinary-robot strength and agility had numerous peaceful and semipeaceful applications.  

@@Conscription
Pulp science fiction authors were severely debunked when the Robot Age finally arrived.  There were global thermonucular wars, no riots, no enslavement of the human race, not even mass unemployment.  Why not?

Two words: system failure.  For every robot quietly working away, there was another blinking the blue eyes of death and leaving disgruntled users waiting for the local nerd to unscrew the back panel and press the litle reset button next to the battery.  

For the most part, Life After Robots proceeded much as it had before.  There were even border patrols (done by robots of course) on the lookout for truckloads of Mexican knockoffs being illegally imported and stealing market share.  Ah, capitalism.

@@Construction

@@Corporation
Ask your friendly ubergeek about this one - I only got as far as mechanics and some thermodynamics.  

@@Currency
We have not inherited the world from our forefathers -- we have borrowed it from our children.

Put into practice by Native Americans long before colonization of the continent is the concept of considering the impact of decisions on the seventh generation to come.  

Five years, well, it's a start.  after all, the journey of a thousand steps begins with a single mile... er...  

@@The Democracy
Peace, Love, and Happiness!

@@Electricity
I made this one up because it sounded cool.  I wasn't high, really.  But my roommate was.

@@Electronics
Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source

I like penguins.

@@Engineering
Recycling with attitude.  While traditional recyclers grind stuff up for the raw material, creative reusers respect the labor that went into the artifact's original production, and find a suitably appropriate alternative use.  This may be as relatively square as vintage clothing or loft living, to stormsewer end caps turned hot tub. (true story!)  

of course, one still ought to consider what the end use is.  one egregious case is a turn of the century movie palace in Detroit gutted and carved up into a parking garage.  
http://www.detroityes.com/downtown/38michtheat_pan.htm

@@Explosives
A buzzword of the times, Sustainability is more concrete a term than simply "green" or "ecofriendly" or "happy".  Literally, it means that the process can be sustained, which in practical terms means it uses renewable resources and can in turn be fully recycled at the end.  

Due to its recent popularity, however, beware of shady capitalists who greenwash their product by claiming that its sustainable when it really ain't.  Fact is, not too many things are fully sustainable, but most things are at least to a degree, or they would have been one-shot wonders.  Think on the long term.  

@@Feudalism
All the learning, none of the beer... yet.

@@Flight
You're probably wondering, what the heck do cyborgs and flying horses have to do with each other?  The answer is that this newfangled means of air transport was thought up by a cyborgified genetic engineer on magic mushrooms.  Really, while Hollywood may make you think that cyborg technology lets you kill things with your bare hands easier, there is equal potential for enhancing one's mental capabilities.  

Q: "Why do you want to be a lawyer?"
A: "My parents are happy with it, and also I want to be able to hurt people with my mind."

-actual conversation between two UC Berkeley students.  

@@Fusion Power

@@Genetic Engineering
Researching this creates a new University terrain square two tiles northwest of San Rafael.  Also does some other things.  ^____^

@@Labor Union
"I'm _____ and I'm an addicted to anime."

@@Literacy
For those who think the information age is going to turn us all into computers spouting 1's and 0's, don't panic.  Think about it, what are people buying all those electronics for?  You don't need 3.5 gigahertz to do accouting, not even the creative kind.  

@@Magnetism
The publication of the ebook "ESP for Dummies" was a watershed moment in the transition of bending spoons from the online game to the primary school classroom.  Recess would still be the same, except the action had moved off the screen and back to the playground at last.  

@@Map Making
Video games are just like any art form, there's game imitating life, and life imitating game.  Teleportation really started looking like a good idea when air travel shriveled up with the lack of cheap oil.  

@@Masonry
Builds a gigantic vertical metropolis off the coast of Pacifica.  Be sure the coast is clear of your ships to avoid anything getting buried.  


@@Mass Production
Good things come in small boxes.  Really small boxes.

@@Mathematics
So about a month ago, I was called to jury duty.  The judge said the trial would last three months, and anyone who wouldn't be paid for that long was excused.  That was pretty much everyone except government workers, who get continue to get their salary paid while on the jury.

The Electronic Jury system permits fair trials without utilizing our valuable civil servants, freeing them up for more productive pursuits such as drinking tea, reading newspapers, and pushing paperwork...which has still defied digitalization.  

@@Medicine
Doctor: Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?
Patient: I'll take the good news first.
Doctor: The good news is that you caught the virus from your computer, so all it'll take is a little software upgrade to cure you.
Patient: Great.  I love the 21st century.  So what's the bad news?
Doctor: The bad news is that hackers are working on a wireless version, so you'll need to start wearing a tinfoil hat.  

@@Metallurgy

@@The Monarchy

@@Mysticism
People of the ancient world were fascinated and awed by the forces of nature surrounding them. Earthquakes, storms and other phenomena were generally regarded as signs from heaven. Individuals and groups arose to formulate explanations for these events, and pass the knowledge along to the tribe. 

Some people of the modern world still are.  And they are in power.  Be afraid.  

@@Navigation
God does not play dice.  Neither do scientists who play God.  They prefer to use Random Number Generators.  

@@Nuclear Fission
My first introduction to the special powers of crystals was in an university architecture course.  Thank you Berkeley.  

@@Nuclear Power
The building block of the hydrogen energy system, fuel cells generate electricity without mechanical parts, providing superb efficiency and reliability.  While other fuels are possible, hydrogen is preferred as it is very clean - it requires only oxygen, and it emits pure water.  

@@Philosophy
Confucious say: "Among any three people I can find a teacher."

this is actually a real Confucious quote.

@@Physics
A union of mind over matter and matter over mind.

"Grant me the the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change things I can, and the software to know the difference."

@@Plastics
In 1996, Dolly the Sheep was cloned.  Early excitement was tempered seven years later when the sheep died young, symptomatic of the imperfections in cloning.  

In 2006 the FDA approved the human consumption of cloned meat.  Meat animals raised in factory farms get fattened and slaughtered young anyway.

Residents of high-rise apartments are advised that inhaling marijuana does not grant one the ability to fly.  But it does grant one the liability to try.

@@Space Flight
There is such a thing as Earthquake Weather, and us residents of the Bay Area enjoy it every day.  Why is it always 60 degrees?  Why is the air cleaned by the evening fog every night?  Well, it's because of the Bay, the mountains, and the other topographical features of the area that give it its wonderful microclimates.  Now how did those mountains and lakes get there?  hmm hmm hmm ^^

The world's largest forum, Gaia Online, was founded by a few members of a Bay Area anime art club, and is today headquartered in a nondescript office park north of San Jose.  

@@Economics
Be it eight-story cupid's bows or a guerilla street art installation, public art livens up neighborhoods and gives artists a livelihood and lifestyle, keeping cities vibrant.  

@@Environmentalism
While the military-industrial complex may want you to believe otherwise, there are plenty of other ways to get around, from bikes to busses to trains to ferries to walking.  While improved service and shiny new vehicles go a long way, the real answer lies in land use.  Sure, the train is a lot less stressful and faster than driving in bumper to bumper traffic, but you know what's even better?  Being right where you need to be right away.  Why go anywhere?  Wouldn't it be great if you could live, work, and play within a couple minutes' walk?  For thousands of years, people did!  Now, transit oriented development allows access to the wider world without disrupting the close-knit personal scale of cities.  

@@Espionage
Los Alamos has been plagued by high profile information leaks in recent times, yet its sister lab in Livermore hasn't had such problems, in no small part because of the nature of research.  While Los Alamos researchers specialize in writing programs that simluate nuclear explosions (there hasn't been a live test in decades), Livermore focuses on energy.  

"Mechanical Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets."  

@@Fundamentalism
Fundamentalism is a governing system whose laws and doctrines are rooted in the extremist and controversial views of religion. Fundamentalists believe in the absolute truth and infallibility of their religion, accepting nothing short of a literal interpretation of the scriptures of their faith. Their views are sometimes so radical as to put them at odds with even the most devout traditionalists of the religion in question. Fundamentalist movements have appeared from time to time throughout the world, including a widespread movement of Christian fundamentalism in the U.S. in the early 20th century. In some cases, most notably in areas of the Middle East, these movements are so widespread that entire nations fall under Fundamentalist rule. Such governments, backed by a fanatical military force, can be a serious threat to any country that opposes their radical views. - Civilization II

The short form: these guys are nuts!

@@Guerrilla Warfare
The modern day housing crisises in many industrial socities isn't caused just by capitalism or urbanization.  Rather, one big factor is the shrinking household size, which leads everyone to demand their own kitchen, bathroom, and such at great expense.  

Cohousing involves two or more apartments sharing certain facilities, which can range from living rooms to kitchens, and for the true hippie, beds.  

@@The Laser
Transmutation is literally the transformation of one element into the other.  Nowadays, it is possible to change lead into gold.  But it is still cheaper to mine gold.  But which is more ecofriendly?

@@Leadership
Think globally, act locally was the old saying.

Then Al Gore invented the Internet.  

@@Machine Tools
Houseboats have been quaint scene in Sausalito for decades.  But for the most part, since jet travel became the norm, people have forgotten the maritime life.  Yet they still long for it, as the popularity of pirate movies attests.

@@Aqueduct - LGBT District
Pioneers of urban living, the LGBT (Lebian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community was often one of the first groups to move into center cities.  Their success in revitalizing downtowns is such that mayors of Midwestern cities have sought to attract them to their city for that purpose.  These groups are also well known for their social activism.  Throw in the increase in nightlife, and you get a winning combination for big cities.  

@@Bank - Studio
Better living through design - or is it better living by design?  The real designer will go with the latter.  Design Studios raise both the economy and the quality of life.  Sadly, most consumers don't appreciate the value of good design, and as such, these enterprises require some subsidy and may not be viable in small cities.  

@@Barracks - Multi User Dungeon
With roots back in the text based era, multi user dungeons, also known as MUDs, are one of the oldest forms of multiplayer gaming.  Since then, they have evolved into elaborate and beautiful worlds unto themselves such as World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XI.  

While generally run as for-profit businesses, in our socialized economy, we've found MUDs to be a net drain as users get hooked and become as productive as crackheads.  However, they are quite helpful for education of troops and are great for R and R also.

The founding of Jebusland came with the dismantling of the democratic government.  Replacing it is an imperial theocracy.  At the newly declared center of the universe sits the Palace, the world's most heavily fortified ranch.  
As a patchwork coalition government, you do not have the luxury of a centralized Palace.  So long as your government is democratic, or to a lesser degreee, communist, this is not a big deal.  

@@Power Plant - Alchemist Lab
With the lifting of drug prohibitions, thousands of skilled scientists have emerged from their basement labs - now unemployed.  These gutsy characters can be put to use in coming up with designer compounds and gadgetries for use in the factories.  Watch out for the pollution though, these geeks weren't, aren't, and won't be known for complying with the law.

@@Recycling Center - Reuse Center
Even the greenest industries are not perfect and generate wastes and byproducts.  Reuse Centers can help minimize the ecological footprint by finding users for some of these materials.  

@@SDI Defense - Country Club
With the typical 18-hole golf course occupying around 150 acres, or more than half a square kilometer, Country Clubs hog land, forcing up housing prices.  If built up with single family houses, a golf course can house 1,000 families.  Whole downtowns fit within the boundaries of a course.  

Jebusland's elite builds these in their cities once the necessary propaganda devices such as Talk Radio and Megachurches have been built.  Sell them as soon as you capture them; these things will burn through your treasury like a knife through hot margarine.  

@@Spaceship Component - Justice and Equality
Good globalization involves not just international trade and migration, but also raising the standards of living throughout the world to equilibrium.  Free marketers argue that this is the natural result of the process; common sense suggests that several centuries is a heck of a long time to wait.  

These programs will help unify the world's political economy in an egalitarian way.  

@@Spaceship Module - A Better Society
Per capital Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is not the only way to measure how good a group of people have it; in fact, it is often argued that blind worship of GDP can lead to policy that actually worsens life.  As a result, a number of alternative indices have sprung up, notably the Human Development Index (HDI), a measure of quality of life factors including education, life expectancy, equality, and other things that keep political science grad students up all night.  

@@Spaceship Structural -  World Government
The history of world government in San Francisco dates back to the end of World War II, with the founding of the United Nations in the city.  Today, the plaza in front of San Francisco City Hall commemorates this, while the city's multiracial makeup reflects the peoples of the world.  At one point, there was even a proposal to build a UN headquarters in the city, consisting of a thousand-foot steel tower supporting a giant globe overlooking the city.  

@@Temple - Talk Radio
Recently a curious question has been popped on why so many talk radio stations are conservative.  This question is actually quite simple - everyone else prefers to listen to music rather than call-in rants.  

Talk Radio stations are staffed for free by religious zealots and generate donation money.  Their influence is doubled by Clear Channel.   

@@University - Ivory Tower
Not only do colleges and universities conduct valuable research and generate ideas, they are also strongholds of righteous left wing thought and youth movements.  They are fairly costly to operate, however, and are best built in medium sized or larger cities.  

@@Airport - Teleporter
Scientists talk of beams and Heisenberg compensators, while the mystics channel the astral plane with multicolored crystals.  When the inventor of the Teleporter was questioned, it turned out that she had not actually invented it, but merely imported the device.  Efforts to find the original manufacturer were complicated by the lack of any contact information other than an oval Made in Taiwan sticker.  

Teleporters are cheap to set up but quite expensive to operate.  As such, use them sparingly.  

@@Capitalization - Export Goods
Despite the high cost of labor, land, and complying with government regulations, there are nontheless Bay Area firms that manufacture products for export.  Not surprisingly, these focus on the high end, and include custom machinery, processed food, pharmaceuticals, and top of the line electronics.  Manufacturers have to remain agile to survive in this market, but successful products can make huge profits or enhance prestige and fame.  

@@Coastal Fortress
Not in game

@@Offshore Platform - Container Terminal
The Port of Oakland is one of the world's busiest container terminals, servicing much of the West Coast and interior of the United States.  Every day, ships from the Far East unload thousands of containers filled with consumer goods bound for the US market.  In turn, thousands of containers are filled with recyleable plastic and used electronics for shipping back to the Far East where environmental laws are laxer and recovery of the materials is economically viable.

@@Police Stations
Not in Game - Fuck the Po-lice!

@@Port Facilities - Docks
In the past, practically every town along the Bay had docks on a working waterfront.  With the 20th century's larger ships, however, it was no longer practical to sail freighters up to every town.  Containerization brought further consolidation, with dedicated ports for containers, oil, and bulk goods in Oakland, Richmond, and Stockton, respectively.  

Also once present were a large number of shipyards, notabling Mare Island in Vallejo and Hunters Point in San Francisco.  These palces are now brownfields, the shipyards have moved overseas.

@@Research Lab

@@SAM Missile Battery

@@Sewer System - Master Plan
In the late 20th century, the older style of prescriptive zoning has begun to be replaced or at least complemented by master plans.  With vision and pretty graphics, master plans spell out goals for districts and neighborhoods, rather than anally designate each lot a specific use.  Plans are often made for 50 or 100 year periods, with incremental revisions every few years along the way.  

@@Solar Power Plant - Solar Panels
Following the Enron-instigated California Energy Crisis, when rolling blackouts plagued the state while utility bills went through the roof, solar power started to make widespread economic sense.  With peak output matching the summertime peak demand periods, rooftop solar cells can generate enough power on a typical house that the residents' entire electric bill for all times of the year can be paid off.  

With financing becoming commonplace, the argument is often made that one can either pay the power company indefinitely every month, or make a similar loan payment on a solar panel that eventually becomes owned.  State subsidies have reduced the break even point to as low as 20 years... assuming the unlikely scenario that electricity prices remain constant.  

@@Stock Exchange - Faucet of Youth
EBMUD engineers have always prided themselves in the provision of some of the cleanest and best tasting drinking water in the world.  

Now, new advances in holistic medicine have led to the formulation of special spa treatments with remarkable health and spiritual benefits.  Nicknamed faucets of youth, these facilities both generate revenue and induce inspirational flashes among local artists.  

@@Supermarket - Planning Office
While high-density condos can offer much more square footage than single family housing, they must be well designed and coordinated with transportation planning to ensure both their and their surrounding areas' desirability.  The Planning Office shapes great neighborhoods and keeps occupancy at 100 percent.  

@@Superhighway - Craigsworld
Starting as a simple online bulletin board for San Francisco, Craigslist has since expanded throught the Bay Area and the world.  This no-frills website allows users to post job openings, items for sale, and just about anything else.  Despite criticisms of it killing newspapers by stealing classified advertising revenue, the List is extremely popular.  Supporters praise it for aiding the reuse of goods and keeping money flowing within the local economy.  

Craigsworld expands the function beyond merely the digital realm and into the physical, facilitating meetings between people.  Your neighborhoods must have transit service to reap the full benefits.  

@@Harbor - Offshore Housing
Since the beginning of industrialization in the Bay Area, first agriculture and then urbanization has encroached on the bay.  Much of downtown San Francisco is built on bay fill, and occasionally construction workers will excavate old ships.  Megalomaniacal plans in the mid 20th century called for levelling the mountains around the Bay to fill in the water to meet the need for housing.  Fortunately, environmental awareness took off around then, an dnow the Bay is protected from futher fill.  The housing instead spilled over the hills in a creep towards the Central Valley.  

This has led to a re-exploration of using the Bay for space, but this time, rather than fill it in, the plans are to float over it.  Longer term versions could be similar to the proposed Freedom Ship, giant oceangoing cities the size of several aircraft carriers.

@@Adam Smith's Trading Co. - Great Mall
Once a big Ford auto plant, the Great Mall now houses dozens of retailers, including, among other things, a major Japanese bookstore.  

@@Aquarius Project- Apollo Program - 
To bring the Aquarian Age to fruition, we must first develop the groundwork for a new society.  We shall call this the Aquarius Project.  Details of the project are lengthy, highlights include developing giant hydroponic bananas with hallucinogenic peels, an improved Orgasmatron, and home nasal transplant surgery kits.

@@Colossus - Charles Shaw Winery
Makers of the famous Two Buck Chuck wine, which retails for $2 a bottle, the Charles Shaw Winery processes and bottles cheap but decent Central Valley in a giant Napa factory.  

For reasons unknown the division of the state has not stopped the grape trucks runs up the valley.  

@@Copernicus' Observatory - Livermore Lab Annex
See Livermore National Lab entry for details.

@@Cure for Cancer - Automated Courts
San Francisco has the highest number of lawyers per capita.  Whether this is a cause or an effect of the high cost of living is debatable, however, it makes for busy courts in the Bay Area.  Coupled with the high immigrant population, the demand for jurors is so high that it's not unusual for residents to actually have to perform court duty every year.  

Court automation uses juror programs to lessen the demand and make for speedier trials.  Rumors that the lead programmer had a background in tarot card reading are unsubstantiated.  

@@Darwin's Voyage - Wikipedia
A user-editable database of knowledge, the Wikipedia, while sometimes criticized as a great way of forgetting everything that happened before 1995, beats dead tree and other online encyclopedias hands down on timeliness and detail.  You can find the real thing at wikipedia.org

@@Eiffel Tower - Smiley's Co-Op
Co-ops are student run boarding houses.  In Berkeley alone, there are 20 co-ops housing more than 1,000 students.  As the joke goes, in the co-op, you're your own landlord... and maid.  

This scenario was written entirely within one of the houses.  Other artistic works to emerge from the co-ops include numerous rock bands.  

@@Great Library - New United Motor
An early example of cooperative competition, New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., also known as NUMMI, is a joint venture between GM and Toyota.  The factory produces both GMs and Toyotas, in some cases, the same model is marketed as a GM in America and a Toyota in Japan.  

Equipped with lots of heavy machinery, the plant is ripe for retooling into a weapons recycling and reuse center, where parts salvaged from enemy tanks can be reborn as Peace Mobiles.  These aren't quite as powerful, but they don't require support.  

@@Great Wall - Ownership Society
Property is robbery, but without risk and danger to the robber. - Emma Goldman

When our communal culture grows strong enough and makes baby Jebus fearful, the Jebusland government will privatize everything, down to the highways and police departments.  Resistance will grow more fanatical, especially in the cities, where corporations will have turned them into fortified company towns.

@@Hanging Gardens - eDrugs
Organized crime was finally driven out of the drug trade not by enforcement, not by education, but by innovation.  Where stick and carrot failed, silicon succeeded.  The culmination of computer science student Phillip E. Nunez's secret project, the first eDrug, W32.Hash.Purple, is a freeware program that generates psychadelic inducing light and sound patterns on any computer terminal.  Later versions added a feature to allow customization, as well as several undocumented ones that brianwashed a morbid fear of Windoze into eDrug users.

@@Hoover Dam - Interstate 80
NorCal's primary link to the east, Interstate 80 winds its way up from San Francisco to Sacramento and through the Sierra Nevadas to Reno, the Black Rock Desert, and beyond.  

For the capitalist running dog lackeys, the highway is a road through which mined raw materials are funneled into the military industrial complex.  For those who know but don't tell, the road leads to sacred grounds to commune with nature.  Either method leads to a big increase in productivity.  

At the beginning of the scenario the highway is closed due to squabbles with Greater Utah.  

@@Isaac Newton's College - Livermore National Lab
Occupying a perfect square mile on the edge of suburban Livermore, the Lawrence Livermore National Lab is the less famous of the two nuclear weapons labs, the other being Los Alamos.  In addition to weapons, the Lab also does research on peaceful uses of nuclear energy, computers, biotechnology, and a range of other topics.  

Once chosen for its remote location, Livermore Lab is now almost surrounded by development, leading to concerns about safety in neighboring residential areas, such as the installation of automatic defense cannons whose active radius extended to a nearby school.

@@J.S. Bach's Cathedral - Skywalker Ranch
The ultimate corporate campus, the Ranch consists of a main office disguised as a Victorian mansion, and a few other low-key buildings deep in the valleys of Marin.  Headquarters of Lucasfilm, the maker of Star Wars and other big budget films, the Ranch achieved legendary status among the fan community, an aura added to by the intense secrecy of the site.  

Recently, Lucasfilm has moved many of its operations scattered around Marin County to a giant complex in the Presidio of San Francisco, just south of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Many key operations still remain at the Ranch, however.  

@@King Richard's Crusade - Chateau Collective
While recycling does recover raw materials and diverts waste from landfills, its effectiveness pales in comparison to reuse.  Nowadays, reuse ranges from the smallest consumer goods to entire neighborhoods that are revitalized rather than razed and redeveloped.  Complementing it is the concept of "cradle to cradle", where the flow of materials is integrated into a closed loop and things once considered byproducts become the raw material for another process.  

@@Leonardo's Workshop - Cloyne's Crash Pad
A rent controlled basement apartment in San Francisco serving as Cloyne and Ashby's home.  As long as it remains in your control, the pair will level up when the right research has been accomplished.

@@Lighthouse - Bay Cleanup
Awareness of the importance of the Bay has surged since the mid 20th century, when developers schemed to fill in the bay for suburban development.  Now, efforts are underway to improve the water quality, ranging from industrial regulations to advertising campaigns warning motorists that "oil in the drain, oil in the bay, no difference."

@@Magellan's Expedition - Green and Blue Fleet
Prior to the construction of numerous bridges in the 1930s, ferries were the only way across the bay.  Though their popularity waned for more than half a century, increasing traffic on freeways brought a resurgence in commuter ferries, which operate between San Francisco's Ferry Building and cities to the north and east as far as Vallejo.  

The calm waters of the Bay make it ideal for high speed ferries, which can be twice as fast as driving.  

@@Manhattan Project - Rainbow Haze
Not in game.

@@Marco Polo's Embassy - Arcane Arcana
Aquarius, the water carrier, has a real life counterpart in San Francisco's Hetch Hetchy water system, a vast network of pipes and reservoirs which bring water from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, through mountains and across the Bay itself.  Along the way it is commemorated with decorative portals and water temples, notably the two at Sunol and Pulgas.  

What is the arcane arcana, then?  Seek and ye shall find!

@@Michelangelo's Chapel - Proposition 420
With origins in Prohibition era moral zealots paranoid of reefer madness and agribusiness interests paranoid of cheap hemp paper and rope, the US led the world into nearly a century of marijuana prohibition.  At the height of the War on Drugs, the majority of prison inmates were being locked up for marijuana offenses.  
Realizing such cures were worse than the disease, Californian voters passed Proposition 215 in 1996, which legalized medical marijuana, paving the way for cannibis clubs and decriminalization.  Under decriminalization, marijuana became the lowest priority for police, below even jaywalking.  Federal law still prohibited any use, however, leaving it in a semilegal gray zone.  

@@Oracle - Clear Channel
After buying up a lot of radio stations nationwide following deregulation in 1996, Clear Channel is frequently criticized for its, censorship, right-wing leanings, and bland music.  Neocons love it for its spreading of big name talk radio hosts around the country.    

@@Pyramids - The Grapevine
The main link between Northern and Southern California, the Grapevine runs along the western edge of the Central Valley, bypassing towns and traffic.  It gets its name from the many industrial-sized vineyards along its route.  Notable landmarks of the highway include a section surrounded by smelly cows known as the Cows of I-5.  

The reopening of the Grapevine will allow massive migration into the Bay Area.  

@@SETI Program - Internet4 Backbone
While politicians may speak of information superhighways, systems administrators tend to prefer the more prosaic and appropriate lingo of plumbing.  After all, universal Internet access holds the promise to fulfill the needs of the mind much the way indoor plumbing made fulfilling the body simple.  
Much in the way a 20th century Californian takes for granted the convenience of not having to walk to the well to fetch water, the 21st century Netizen has art, knowledge, and entertainment at her fingertips.  
The issue of food distribution has yet to be engineered, to the great relief of restaurant owners everywhere.  

@@Shakespeare's Theatre - People's Park
Many parks in the world carry this name, but none is as famous as the one in Berkeley, which began its life as a vacant lot for a highrise dormitory that never materialized.  Neighbors took action and turned the lot into a park, which the University was now planning to build sports fields on.  When the people's park was fenced in preparation for construction in 1969, riots broke out.

Since then, the one-block park has existed in a nebulous state of limbo, with the university and residents alternating in their construction of new facilities, and the demolition of said facilities by the other side.  These facilities have included parking lots, soup kitchens, volleyball courts, and a free box used to recycle clothing.   

@@Statue of Liberty - Beale AFB
Most famous for being home to U-2 high altitude spy planes during the Cold War, Beale Air Force Base sprawls over an area greater than the entire City of San Francisco east of Marysville.  After a couple rounds of BRAC base closings in the 90s and 00s, it is one of the few remaining military bases in the greater Bay Area.  
With its long runways and extensive facilities, this major airfield shows potential as a place for the basing of black helicopters.  

@@Sun Tzu's War Academy - UC Davis
With origins as an agricultural university, Davis has since expanded into a full university with strengths in biotechnology.  Despite its huge student body of over 20,000, it retains an agricultural feel to it, with dining halls inside former goat barns, and cows.  Lots of cows, including the world famous fistulated cow.  This cow features a rubber trapdoor through which researchers can extract half digested food from the cow's gut.  The fistula does not harm the cow in any way, but sure creeps the heck out of visitors.  

Devious Jebusland mad scientists have turned some of these into Mad Cows, feeding them ground cow skeletons and inserting high explosives into their stomach.  These cows are then turned loose and prodded towards their targets.  

@@United Nations - Crystal Gold
Crystals have always occupied a prominent spot in mystical culture, with powers of healing and divining.  

Crystal Gold is a special type of crystal found in the gold deposits up in the Sutter Buttes.  Embedded into silicon, it does for computers what drugs do for people - it blows their electrical minds.  Wheeeeee.  

@@Women's Suffrage - EA Games
The product of a decade of consolidation in the videogame industry, EA Games makes games for every genre and platform, but derives the bulk of its revenue from console based sports games, a lucrative franchise that automatically generates a new version every season.  

To its credit, the company has helped make videogames into an economic and cultural force rivalling movies, however, this is often at the cost of employees, who put in 65 hour weeks regularly (up to 90 at some times) without overtime pay.

@@Battleship
Following its decommissioning after over 50 years of active service, the battleship U.S.S. Iowa was offered up as a naval museum.  San Francisco was offered the ship, but the Board of Supervisors voted to reject it, not wanting a symbol of the military among its many tourist attractions.  

Instead, the ship went to the inland port of Stockton.   This floating steel fortress can blow just about anything out of the water, and threaten cities up and down the Bay and the San Joaquin River.

@@Hippie
Dude, while we may be best known for peace and pot smoking, we hippies will stand up to the Man when we need to!  

Note: Once you can train Activists, hippies won't become obsolete or even fade away... they'll just keep on building.  

@@Peace Mobile
These tie-dye tanks are lovingly crafted from captured tanks at the New United Motor works in Fremont.  Rumor has it that the entire transmission has been replaced by duct tape and WD-40 by the half-baked engineers who came up with this idea.  Though derided by technical purists as being the bastard child of a turtle and an orange toilet on wheels, Peace Mobiles retain a surprising amount of their original's strength.    

@@Ashby Lvl 1
A friend of Cloyne Court and an active member of the Berkeley Stop the Jebus Nuts Coalition, Ashby Adeline is also known as the inventor of a curious martial art that combines the elements of professional wrestling and yoga.  

Fast and with a powerful attack, Ashby can spearhead attacks on fortified positions.  

When defeated in battle, Ashby will revive in San Francisco.  Note that this only works when fighting Jebusland.  

@@Ashby Lvl 3
When the limits of biological stem cells were reached, further power-upping is achievable with things such as Super Mushrooms and Fire Flowers.  

When defeated in battle, Ashby will revive in San Francisco.  Note that this only works when fighting Jebusland. 

@@Angel
The next step after animal testing of making things fly was naturally making people fly.  With a powered exoskeletal wings, the Angel can get literally high without pot.  The spiritual imagery of the winged human is also potent against diehard fundamentalists.  

Angels must land every turn in a friendly city.

After a dinner of oyster stem shells at Pier 38 in Mission Bay, Ashby is now much stronger and faster, and can also swim. 
 
When defeated in battle, Ashby will revive in San Francisco.  Note that this only works when fighting Jebusland. 

@@Airship
After close to a century of obscurity, airships finally made a comeback when fancy new technologies enabled the open defiance of the laws of gravity.  In short, the bulky helium bags have been replaced by small crystalline packages of Cannibisium, an artificial element that has a negative mass.  

We're not quite sure what the scientists were smoking when they invented this stuff up at the Berkeley Lab, and every time I see it in use, I still scratch my head and wonder how much weed I've been smoking.  But those airships do work, and like the motorist who simply aims the car and hits the gas, I'm not complaining.  

All trips got to end sometime, and Airships have to land at the end of each turn.  

@@Prison
The California Department of Corrrections embarked on a building spree when tough-on-crime laws skyrocketed the number of inmates.  Among such laws is the infamous Three Strikes law, under which someone could get life imprisonment for three counts of shoplifting.  

These facilities range from minimum-security trailers to formidable Supermax fortresses, often ringed by electric fence and guard towers.  These concrete bunkers, now reappropriated for defense, have proven to be just as hard to get in as to get out.  

@@Dark Tower
One of the hallmarks of being an evil badass is to have appropriately badass digs.  In the case of Ahnuld's regime, this megalomaniacal urge manifested itself in the form of the Tower of Pain.  Rising over a hundred stories over the Central Valley, the Tower contained at its heart an even greater number of subbasement levels.

Official reports claim it is merely a sophisticated oil drilling operation, but our psychics suggest more sinister motives involving demons.  

@@Psychic
The difference between bending spoons and bending tanks is merely a matter of scale.  Such is the slogan of the First Psychic Brigade.  

Such power is achieved with a combination of rigorous mental training and an elaborate piece of brain-interface electronics that amplifies neural pulses to manipulate matter and energy with frightening efficiency.  

@@Ahnuld
Jacked up on not mere steroids but dangerous supersteroids, Ahnuld stands over eight meters tall.  Even more aggressive than his previous three incarnations, Ahnuld can also take much more punishment.  

@@Gun Nut
Armed with a motley assortment of rifles, handguns, and submachineguns, Gun Nuts form the core of the Jebusland military.  With aim diluted by alcohol, these buggers are more of a nuisance than a real obstacle - until the advent of the Ownership Society, where such slothful impulses are overridden by a primal rage to defend private property.  

@@Governator-1000
The G-1000 is the result of sellout Jebusland nerds who grafted advanced military bioenhancements onto that most dangerous of civilians - the actor-politician.

@@Ferry
Prior to the opening of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges in the 1930s, transbay commuting was done via ferryboats to the Ferry Building at the northeast end of Market Street in San Francisco.  The boats would meet interurban railroads at the end of long piers in the Bay to load and unload passengers.  

After the bridges were opened, ferry service dropped off and the Ferry Building itself went into over 60 years of disrepair, with the elevated Embarcadero Freeway cutting it off from the rest of the city.  

The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake revived the ferries.  With part of the Bay Bridge collapsed and repairs taking months, ferries and the BART rapid transit system picked up the slack.  Since then, ferries offer fast nonstop commutes from San Francisco to points as far south as Alameda, as far north as Larkspur in Marin County, and all the way east to Vallejo.  Additionally, the freeway in front of the Ferry Building has been demolished and replaced with a landscaped boulevard, on which vibrant markets are held many times a week.  

@@Nerd
The image of the revolutionary is often that of an angry, militant youth.  Behind the loud facades however are real intellectuals who have more interest in the way the world works than getting drunk and laid at a fraternity party.  

Nerds can access information, sabotage production, win enemy troops to the cause, and spread the revolution to entire cities.  Use them wisely and use them often, they are one of your most important units.

Following his release from the Smoke Filled Room of Pain, Conan the Republican has been set on a mission to smash the latte machines of the vast left wing conspiracy.  

Conan is significantly tougher than his cyborg predecessors and should be dealt with accordingly.

@@Cyberdemon
Half unfeeling machine, half raging horned devil. This walking nightmare has a rocket launcher for an arm and will definately reach out and touch you. Make sure you're loaded for bear before you get to this guy...

A missile launching skyscraper with goat legs.  Nuff' said...

There are a number of ways to defeat this guy.
1. Brute force: This is practically impossible unless you can lure it close enough to San Francisco that Clyone or Ashby can repeatedly attack it.  
2. Destroying the Dark Tower: This will cause the Demon to disband in a few turns.
3. Sacrifice: Since it can only attack twice a turn, just keep feeding it.

@@Contractor
Much maligned by just about everyone else involved or affected in construction, contractors nontheless fulfill the vital and messy task of realizing paper plans into real construction.  

Your contractors are capable of a wide range of tasks from tearing down freeways to building condos to cleaning up Superfund sites.  Recent legislation by the Citizens Council has required the provision of decent housing for the migrant labor used, alloting one unit of housing per contractor.   Build lots of them.  

@@Bridge Out
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake is perhaps the only earthquake where the majority of the fatalities were not caused by collapsing buildings.  Instead, the greatest destruction occured on many of the elevated freeways crisscrossing the area.  

Since then, said freeways have either been retrofitted, demolished, or rebuilt in new locations.  The only exceptio is the replacement east span of the Bay Bridge, which is still under construction due to funding delays and is not scheduled for completion until 2011, more than two decades after the earthquake.

Bridge Outs can only be removed by Bridge Crews.  Additionally, they only block your units - Jebus can walk on water.

@@Mad Cow
Normal cows are vegetarian.  Under the factory farming system, however, such things are ignored in the interest of profit.  After the choice cuts and ground beef are shredded off the carcass on the whole cow processor, remaining entrails and bones are sent to the grinder for conversion into cattle feed.  

Mad Cow disease is thus easily transmitted from one cow to whole warehouses of cows, since the disease resides in prions within the bone of the cow.  Cooking the meat cannot kill these prions, which cause the cow to go mad, get sick, and die.  People who eat such cow are prone to similar fates.  

Exploding mad cows, on the other hand, are a derivative of research into fuel crops.  By feeding cows heavily fertilized petrocorn, benign farm animals were mutated into four-legged bombs.

@@Activists
While hippies simply dropped out of the mainstream, activists fight against it.  Ranging from peaceful sign wavers to window smashing anarchists, activists are on the cutting edge of political outreach and advocacy, grabbing headlines and inspiring bored youth.  Training and experience have made them more resistant to the po-po than their hippie cousins.  

Like hippies, activists eventually become outclassed by better defensive units, however, they will continue to organize in your cities.  

Activists will appear outside cities after enemy capture.  

@@Giant Mecha
While Japanese researchers labored for decades and spent billions on developing robots, a welder in Alaska improvised a mech the American way, handcrafting a robotic exoskeleton.

The angst problem also seems to have been magnified, despite the more pleasant Californian climate.  

As with other defensive units, mahou shoujo do not become obsolete until a few techs after a superior unit is available.

@@Tree
While man-eating plants were common in 19th century legend, exploration found them to be just a rumor.  For all its intimidating jaws, the Venus Fly Trap was just that - a fly trap.  

Until now.  

During his years at Stanfurd, Joe Sequoia donned a felt-green tent as the team mascot.  Now, this tree hugging mad scientist in the back woods of Marin County took the next step after tree hugging - mating with the tree by means of a gene splicer and some test tubes.  The resulting tree, if it could be called such, would make any elf proud.  Standing close ot a hundred meters tall and with moving limbs and deep roots, the Tree is second to none when it comes to holding ground.  It is rumored that Joe's lab is hidden somewhere near the fabled groves of Muir Woods.

Trees are useful for defense early on, and as a renewable resource later on.  

@@H4xx0r
While typing in 1337 (leet, aka elite) is now associated with teenage script kiddies rather than real hackers, the substitution of numbers for letters in everyday speech is symbolic of a state of digital nirvana alluded to in movies such as Teh Matrix.  

Various forms of 1337 exist, ranging from simple substitutions of a few letters with numbers, to hardcore 1337 that replaces all letters with numbers and other symbols, to ever more esoteric forms that mash in Japanese katakana.  

Functionally, 1337 H4xx0rs are overclocked nerds loaded with more features.  They are less likely to get caught by firewalls, and can also delete users from systems, effectively knocking whole chunks of the population out of the economy.  

@@Cloyne Lvl 1
A graduate student of nanotechnology at the time of the Jebusland takeover, Cloyne Court now leads the fight against Teh Man.

@@Hybrid Tank
Conspicuous consumption's brief hibernation in the Sixties was a mere aberration.  When it returned, however, it took on the greenwashed guise of Conscientious Consumption, a way of flaunting one's bleeding heart political correctness.  

Ways of being a Conscientious Consumer include buying fair trade bananas, travelling off the beaten path, eating at organic vegan restaurants, and listening to ethnic indie music.  By the 21st century, Conscientious Consumption had gotten big enough and its original proponents wealthy enough that it moved beyond food and small goods to large purchases such as housing and automobiles.

With gas mileages more than double that of conventional cars and close to an order of magnitude superior to SUVs, hybrid cars offered their drivers all the convenience of car ownership with less guilt of burning the blood of Iraqi children.  For the true Conscientious Consumer, there was biodiesel.  This fuel oil is made from reprocessed used vegetable oil.

From the earliest conceptions of heaven, floating cities have always been a keystone of folklore and mythology.  Even today they continue to evoke wonder in science fiction, be it Cloud City from Star Wars or Laputa from the anime Castle in the Sky.  

In the modern day, floating cities have gained technical credenbility in the from of Buckminster Fuller's Cloud Nine floating geodesic spheres.  These structures essentially function as kilometer-diameter hot air balloons heated by the sun.  While real estate of even the ground-foundation variety often rises and falls on hot air, this concept is nontheless unnerving.  There is also of course the issue of navigation and control that plague conventional hot air ballooning.  Cheap portable energy would help solve this issue.

Much maligned CalTrans, the California Department of Transporation, builds and maintains the extensive freeway system in California.  As the name implies, freeways are generally toll free, in sharp contrast to the turnpikes of the East Coast.  
The secret to this is a much steeper tax on gasoline.  Bridges still require tolls, but these are generally much cheaper than comparable crossings elsewhere in the country.  For example, even after a doubling in tolls caused by the need to retrofit and replace parts of the Bay Bridge, the five-mile crossing of the Bay is still around half the cost of the Hudson River tunnels into New York.  

The view is also a lot better.

;Terrain Types
@@Desert - Brownfield
Sometimes also known as the urban pasture, brownfields are lots in the middle of cities that were once built up but are now vacant.  Often the site of factories, brownfields require environmental cleanup before they can be used for housing development.  

@@Forest - Freeway
While benefiting trade and mobility, freeways level neighborhoods and divide cities they run through with giant concrete overpasses and elevated sections.  When freeways meet, ramps and flyovers spiral to heights over 100 feet.  
Opposition to freeways beagn in the 1960s, stopping many proposed projects, but it wasn't until the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that the days of the freeway came to an end.  Some of the damaged freeways, notably the Embarcadero Freeway along the waterfront, were demolished, while others, such as the Cypress Freeway in West Oakland, were rerouted out of residential neighborhoods.  

At the beginning, freeways will choke the development of your cities, and it is recommended you transform them to urban neighborhoods as soon as possible.  Mobility can be retained by building transit lines.  

@@Glacier - University
Gold brought riches to California in 1849, but long term prosperity was built on knowledge.  Producing huge amounts of wealth, knowledge, and entertainment, Universities should be kept operating at all times.  The downtown area of San Francisco has a similar effect and is modelled as such.  

@@Grassland - Greenfield
Rapid development in the late 20th and early 21st century brought suburban development out past urban areas and into farmland.  These exurbs feature huge lots, oversized McMansions, and four-car garages.  

Nowadays, sustainable practices mean we don't build houses on greenfields anymore, rather, we plant trees, or transform existing subdivisions into real urban communities.  

@@Hills - Hills
The many active faults in the Bay Area have created rows and rows of hills and mountains.  These areas are difficult to move about or utilize, but are excellent in defense.  Some of the larger mountains are impassable.  

@@Jungle - Wasteland

@@Peat - Water Treatment plant
While some sources are clean enough to use unfiltered, most of the Bay's water supply has been contaminated by human activity and requires treatment even before use.

@@Anarchy
Anarchy represents not so much a government type as the lack of any stable government. Anarchy occurs when your civilization's government falls, or when you decide to have a Revolution. After a few turns of Anarchy, you can rebuild a new government. Anarchy is similar to Dictatoship, except that the corruption rate is VERY HIGH. However, no taxes are collected during a period of Anarchy, and no scientific research is conducted.

@@Despotism - Dictatorship
In a Dictatorship, the ruler has absolute control over his or her subjects, and this control is usually enforced by the military. This system has a tendency to minimize individual freedom, and reduce the efficiency of production efforts. 

* Each unit above the city size costs one resource per turn.
* Contractors require one unit of housing.

Up to three military units in each city institute "martial law". Each of these units makes one unhappy citizen content.

Dictatorship has a high rate of corruption and waste. The farther a city is from your capital, the higher its level of corruption.

* Under a Dictatorship, Tax/Luxury/Science rates cannot be set higher than 60%.
* Any terrain square that ordinarily produces three or more of any resource (Food, Shields, or Trade) produces one less.
* Because of Despotism's high rate of corruption, it is almost always an inferior form of government. 

@@Communism
A Communist government is ruled by a controlling party, with a single person, known as a chairman, acting as the head of state. In a true Communist system, all property is owned collectively by the people, and labor is organized to be equally advantageous to all people. This ideal has never truly been realized, however, and the "Communist" governments of the world are usually much different.

* Each unit beyond the third requires one resource per turn.
* Contractors require one unit of housing.

Up to three military units in each city institute "martial law". Each of these units makes two unhappy citizens content.

Under Communism, state control of the economy eliminates organized crime. Your cities, therefore, experience no corruption.

* All Spy units produced under Communist governments are Veterans.
* Under Communism, Tax/Luxury/Science rates cannot be set higher than 80%. 

* Communism is good in the early game if you really are having problems with unhappiness.  

@@Democracy
A Democracy is ruled by a president elected by the people. The rulings of the president are subject to review by the Senate, a group of elected representatives who serve the best interests of the citizens. Democracy allows its citizens a higher degree of personal freedom and involvement than any other form of government.

* Each unit costs one resource per turn.
* Contractors require one unit of housing.

Each unit that is not in a friendly city (or in a Fortress within three squares of a friendly city) causes two citizens in its home city to become unhappy.

Democracies experience no corruption or waste.

The catch: Cities that riot for more than one turn (this includes the turn of capture) will cause anarchy to break out everywhere!

* Tax/Luxury/Science rates can be set to any level desired.
* Under a Democracy, each square that ordinarily produces at least one unit of Trade produces an extra unit of Trade.
* The units and cities of a Democracy are immune to bribery in any form.
* Your senate may force a peaceful solution in a conflict.

* To research all the needed technologies, you'll probably want to stay in Democract as long as possible.  

@@Fundamentalism
Fundamentalism is a form of government organized around a central set of beliefs. These beliefs, usually religious in nature, form a rigid guideline for the actions and reactions of both the ruler and the people. In a Fundamentalist society, the people and the rulers are entirely devoted to their beliefs, and are usually willing to die to preserve them.

* Each unit beyond the tenth unit costs one resource per turn.
* Contractors require one unit of housing.

Under Fundamentalism, no citizen is ever unhappy!

Fundamentalism has a very low rate of corruption.

* Under Fundamentalism, Tax/Luxury/Science rates cannot be set higher than 80%.
* Under Fundamentalism, all Science production is HALVED.
* Improvements that normally convert unhappy citizens to content citizens produce "tithes" (money) equivalent to the number of people they would normally convert, and require no maintenance.
* The diplomatic penalties for terrorist acts committed by Diplomats and Spies is reduced.

* Fundamentalism eliminates all happiness problems and provides excellent revenue, although research tends to languish.

@@Monarchy
Not in game

@@Technocracy - removed
A Technocracy is sometimes superficially democratic, but real power is held by the bureaucracy instead of elected leaders.  This provides some insulation from popular opinion, but at the expense of more corruption.

* Each unit costs one resource per turn.
* Contractors require one unit of housing.

Each unit beyond the first unit that is not in a friendly city (or in a Fortress within three squares of a friendly city) causes one citizen in its home city to become unhappy.

Technocracies experience a low rate of corruption and waste. The farther a city is from your capital, the higher its level of corruption.

* Under a Technocracy, Tax/Luxury/Science rates cannot be set higher than 80%.
* Your senate may force a peaceful solution in a conflict.

* Switching to a Technocracy can make fielding armies much more bearable, though income and research will suffer.


@CONCEPT_DESCRIPTIONS

;Translation Note: The text in this section comes, verbatim, from the CONCEPT.PDE text file in the ;original Civilopedia. (French and German versions are .PDF and .PDG respectively.)
;

@@Disband
When a friendly unit becomes obsolete, costs too much to maintain, or causes unhappiness among your population, you might want to eliminate the unit. To eliminate a unit, order it to disband by holding down the shift key and pressing "D", or by selecting "Disband" from the Orders menu. Once disbanded, the unit is permanently removed from the game.

When a unit is disbanded inside a friendly city, half of the unit's production cost in Shields is added to the production of whatever unit, Improvement, or Wonder is currently under production in the city.

@@Fortify
Ground units can be ordered to fortify by pressing the "F" key, or by selecting "Fortify" from the Orders menu. The defensive value of fortified units is increased by 50 percent.

@@Fortress
You can't build these, since the Chief Architect won't approve military construction.  

@@Irrigation - Housing
Every citizen requires ONE housing unit.  Real Hippies don't need vacation and second homes...

With limited flat land, the Bay Area has been plagued with chronic housing shortages in recent years, with housing prices the highest in the nation.  Many cities are stagnating and commute times are rising.  As a result, you will need to embark on an aggressive public housing campaign.

There are two stages of housing development.  First, there are houses, which are barely self sufficient in keeping up the housing / jobs balance.  These can be upgraded to high density, high efficiency Housing.  Both can benefit from Urbanization of the neighborhood.  

@@Luxuries
The provision of Luxuries for your citizens is indicated by the smiley face icons in the Resource Box of the City Display. Each two Luxuries makes one content citizen happy, or one unhappy citizen content. The amount of Luxuries a city produces is mainly determined by the percentage of Trade you have allocated to Luxuries. This can be adjusted using the "Change Tax Rate" command on the Kingdom menu. A city's Luxuries can also be increased by building certain City Improvements and Wonders of the World, and by converting citizens into Entertainers.

@@Mining - Business
Manufacturing provide more than just jobs, it also provides the capacity for capital projects.  

At the onset, you may find businesses built both on industrial brownfields and on greenfields.  Environmental restrictions prevent further greenfield or urban development, so you'll be limited to developing existing brownfields.  A better way to boost productivity is to plant trees.  

@@Pillage
The terrain improvements built by other civilizations (housing, businesses, transit, etc.) can be destroyed by moving a unit into the improved terrain square and ordering the unit to pillage. This reduces the production value of the land, and forces your enemy to re-develop the terrain.

Units can be ordered to pillage by holding down the shift key and pressing "P", or by choosing the "Pillage" command from the Orders menu. The unit must be ordered to pillage once for each of the terrain improvements you want to destroy. 

@@Pollution
Pollution is most commonly caused by the excessive production of Screws in a city; however, it may also be caused by large city populations or the explosion of a Crystal. When a city poses a potential pollution problem, skulls on yellow triangles appear in the Information Box of the City Display. The more warning signs a city generates, the higher the city's chance of polluting a terrain square within the city radius each turn. When world pollution reaches sufficiently critical levels, there is a chance that regional decay can occur.

Pollution can be cleaned up by moving Contractors into the polluted square and pressing the "P" key, or choosing the "Clean Up Pollution" command from the Orders menu. Pollution production of cities can be reduced through the construction of certain City Improvements, or by reducing the city's Screw production.

Be especially careful of cities near the hills - it is impossible to clean up pollution in some cases.  

@@Railroads- Onramps
I know this sounds completely opposite of reality, but bridge ramps actually are the smoothest journeys anywehre, with free movement across them.

This is done for graphics reasons.  

@@Roads - Transit
By getting people out of cars and onto trains and busses, Transit ends traffic jams and cuts the move cost of any tile to 1.  Transit also boosts business in developed areas.  

@@Science
The amount of scientific research contributed by a city is indicated by the tree icons shown in the Resource Chart of the City Display. At the start of each turn, the science output of each city is added to the research project currently in progress, eventually resulting in the discovery of a new Civilization Advance. The more trees each city produces, the faster new Advances are discovered. The amount of science produced by your civilization is primarily determined by the amount of incoming Trade you have allocated to science. This percentage can be adjusted by selecting the "Change Tax Rate" command on the Kingdom menu.

The science output of individual cities and your civilization as a whole can also be increased by building certain City Improvements and Wonders of the World, or by converting citizens into Scientists.

There are some advances on the Technology Tree that are not researchable, but require the capture of a certain city or destruction of a certain unit to acquire.  

Advances are categorized as follows:
Pink vehicle: Increases mobility of units
Red sword: Better attack units
Orange shield: Better defensive units
Purple T-square and triangle: Infrastructure
Yellow heart: Happiness and military
Yellow smiley face: Happiness improvements
Green house: Population growth
Blue bars: Economy
Blue boxes: Production
Blue paper: Science
White ankh: Aquarius Project
Pink question mark: Nonresearchable, event driven
Gray star: Enemy technology
Gray question mark: Other

@@Sentry
Units ordered to go on sentry duty appear as gray silhouettes. These units are removed from the movement queue, and remain on sentry duty until another unit moves into their sight range or until they are manually reactivated. Units on sentry duty inside a city are automatically loaded onto ships (up to the ship's unit carrying capacity) when the ship leaves the city.

Units are placed on sentry duty by pressing the "S" key, or by choosing the "Sentry" option on the Orders menu. Damaged units placed on sentry inside a city become active when they have been completely repaired.

@@Shields - Screws
The production of raw materials by your cities is represented by screw icons. Thus, raw materials are commonly referred to as "Screws". The number of Screws produced by each city is displayed in the Resource Chart of the City Display. Screws are used to support units. Each unit might, depending on government type and other circumstances, require that its home city expend one Screw per turn to support the unit. Excess Screws not used to support units are used for the production of City Improvements, Wonders of the World, and new units.

Screw production largely depends on the type of terrain surrounding the city. Forests, Brownfields, Hills, and land with Businesses are your main sources.  In most circumstances, Screw production of a city can be increased through the construction of certain Improvements and Wonders. The construction of mines also improves Screw production in certain types of terrain.

@@Specialists
The citizen icons displayed in the Population Roster of the City Display represent the city's work force. Each citizen added to the roster is automatically put to work developing one of the terrain squares within the city radius. In certain situations it may become necessary to remove a citizen from terrain production in order to perform a specific task. Citizens so removed are called specialists. There are three types of specialist, each of which increases one of the three components of Trade produced by a city. Artists increase Luxuries, Bureaucrats increase Taxes, and Scientists increase Science production.

To create a specialist, click on any production square in the City Map. The production icons disappear from the square, and an Artist appears in the Population Roster. To create a Bureaucrat, click the Artist icon once. To create a Scientist, first create a Bureaucrat, then click the Bureaucrat icon once. Cities must be size five or larger to support Bureaucrats and Scientists.

@@Taxes
The Taxes collected by a city are indicated by BART ticket icons in the Resource Chart of the City Display. Taxes are used primarily to pay the maintenance cost of City Improvements each turn. Any tax revenues not used for maintenance of Improvements are added to your treasury. The amount of Taxes generated by the city is primarily determined by the amount of incoming Trade you have allocated to Taxes. This can be adjusted by selecting the "Change Tax Rate" option from the Kingdom menu.

Tax revenues can also be increased through the construction of certain City Improvements and Wonders of the World, or by converting citizens into Tax Men.

@@Trade
Trade represents more than just the exchange of goods and cash between cities and civilizations. Trade also represents the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and the recreational travel and activities of the citizens of your civilization. The total amount of Trade produced by each city is represented by BART ticket icons displayed in the Resource Chart of the City Display. Trade is then broken down into three separate components: Taxes, Luxuries, and Science. The amount of Trade allocated to each of these areas is controlled by selecting the "Change Tax Rate" option on the Kingdom menu.

Trade can be increased through the construction of certain City Improvements and Wonders of the World. It can also be increased through terrain improvements, and through the establishment of trade routes.

@@Trade Routes
Trade routes are established by moving a Hippie Trader into a city at least ten squares from the unit's home city. You receive an immediate cash payment on the turn that the route is established. On each ensuing turn, each city receives a Trade bonus for as long as the trade route exists. The farther apart the two cities are, the more valuable the trade route. Trade routes established with cities of a rival civilization tend to be more profitable than those established between friendly cities. Each city may have up to three active trade routes at any time.

When using the Advanced Trade rules, the value of a trade route is also affected by the type of goods traded. When trading a commodity that is demanded by the destination city, the trade route is much more profitable.

@@Veteran Units
During the American Civil War, soldiers who had never been in battle were said to have "seen the elephant" after being under fire for the first time. Afterward, they were considered veterans. History shows that well-trained, veteran soldiers are much more likely to survive a battle than inexperienced troops.

Units have a 50 percent chance of becoming Veterans each time they survive a combat encounter. Cities with a Multi User Dungeon automatically produce Veteran units. The attack and defense factors of Veteran units is increased by 50 percent.

@@Corruption and Waste
You don't have to worry about this since such things don't happen in our liberal paradise.

@@Unhappiness Due to Civ Size
Once you have built a certain number of cities, your citizens start to worry about your ability to effectively govern your civilization. When this occurs, additional unhappy citizens appear in each city.

The number of cities you can build before causing additional unhappiness is based on a number of factors, including game difficulty level and government type. The number of cities is higher for more advanced governments and lower levels of difficulty.

@@Combat Damage
It is now possible for units to be damaged as a result of combat. In each successful attack, a unit inflicts an amount of damage equal to its Firepower rating. The amount of damage a unit can sustain before it is destroyed is determined by multiplying the unit's Hit Point rating by ten.

The approximate amount of damage a unit has sustained can be determined by the length and color of the unit's damage bar (the colored bar at the top of the unit's shield symbol). A green bar indicates that the unit has lost from 0 to 33 percent of its Hit Points, a yellow bar shows that the unit has lost from 34 to 66 percent, and a red bar indicates that it has lost 67 percent or more.

Damage also affects the movement of a unit. The percentage of movement lost is equivalent to the percentage of Hit Points lost. Sea units can never have their movement reduced below two. The movement of air units is not affected by damage.

@@Transforming Terrain
Brownfields and Urban land can be transformed into Forest, while Greenfields and Freeways can be transformed into Urban land.

@@Airbases
You can't build these.

@@Airlift - Teleporting
After the discovery of Teleportation, you have the ability to perform Teleportation operations between your cities. Teleportation allows you to move units instantly over great distances. In order to Airlift a unit between two cities, both cities must have an Teleporter.

To Teleport a unit, move the unit into a city with a Teleporter and choose "Teleport"from the Orders menu, or press the "l" key. A menu of possible destinations appears. Choose the destination city from the menu, and the unit is instantly transported to that city. The unit becomes available for use on the following turn.

@@City Squares
;Translation Note: This refers to the map squares occupied by cities, not "Town Squares".
The resources utilized by a city are not only generated in the squares surrounding the city: they are also generated by the city square itself. The city square generates all the resources normally produced by the Terrain type on which the city is built. In addition, the Terrain square occupied by the city is improved to the maximum extent possible. The city square automatically contains transit. The city square is also automatically developed, depending on the type of terrain. Finally, if the city is built on Terrain that normally produces no Screws, one Screw is automatically added to the other resources generated in the city square. These enhancements ensure that the city square produces the maximum amount of resources possible.
